Once upon a time, if you used an internet dating site to meet someone, you didn’t need to worry too much about politics. It wasn’t considered a deal breaker most of the time, after all, and if it was, then you didn’t go out with that person again. You just moved on.

However, times change. Today, in addition to waxing nostalgically about the “good old days” of internet dating, we also have to consider political positions on things like guns and gun rights while trying to find a potential mate.

First, let me say that it’s pathetic for people to harass and ridicule someone for having a firearm in their profile photo. She’s got a gun and you don’t like guns? Then just look elsewhere. There’s no reason to be an a** about it.

That said, Clark embraced capitalism and did her own thing, creating her own site to meet the need she identified in the market. More power to her!
